At this time, Queen Ji had already returned from Mianfu Palace, changed out of the queen Zhai clothes that she was asked to wear, and only wore a lilac purple palace dress, green silk and pine silk, hibiscus flowers inlaid with red agate Baodian, bamboo plum two friends Ganoderma lucidum dotted with green hairpins, and when she led the palace people to slowly go up the stairs, a pair of inch-long red gold pendants in her ears were almost immovable, which showed dignity.

"Poor man, how did you swim to Little Penglai?" Empress Ji held the hands of the palace people and sat down in the upper phoenix seat, Fang raised her eyes to look at the well-behaved Yunfeng Fence who was kneeling below, and said coolly, "I heard Concubine Shu say that you haven't seen you all night this morning, it really scared the palace!" Fortunately, you are safe and sound, otherwise, the palace would not know how to explain to the Queen Mother. ”

Forget it, just listen to this, yesterday a cloud wind fence just jumped off the Shalu Pavilion, I'm afraid that the middle palace will get the news, otherwise what else to take care of the six palaces?

"Mother forgiveness." Yun Fenghuan's face was well-behaved, and he kowtowed before he said timidly, "After the concubine accidentally fell into the water yesterday, she felt very embarrassed, and originally thought that she would quietly go ashore after swimming for a while, and then go to your majesty to apologize for the guilt after cleaning up a little, so as not to lose her honor in front of the emperor." But I didn't expect that I was swimming in the wrong direction, if I hadn't bumped into Xiao Penglai by mistake, I was afraid that I would ...... I'm afraid I'll never see my mother again! ”

Empress Ji lowered her eyes and looked at her, "Accidentally fell into the water?" But this palace heard that His Majesty accidentally dropped Peiyu into the Taiye Pool, and you volunteered to get it for Your Majesty? ”

…… Junjia, this bastard!

We'll see!!

Yun Fenghuang was resentful in his heart, and his face was at a loss, "Your Majesty's Peiyu fell into the pool of too liquid?" The concubine was patronizing the dance for His Majesty, but she didn't notice it...... The concubine body is really damned! ”

Queen's Path: "Oh? Didn't you say that you would get Peiyu for Your Majesty? ”

He turned his head and ordered a palace maid to go to the Taichu Palace to invite Jiang Lan, the chamberlain in front of Emperor Chunjia, to come over and speak, "What the hell is going on, this palace has to ask clearly." ”

Yun Fenghuan wanted to take the opportunity to remind Xuan, this night has passed, and I don't know what situation this maid is in now...... But wait! The current situation is certainly not particularly thrilling, but in Nian Xuan's brain, no one knows whether she is a friend or a hostile when she comes, right?

She didn't say anything, and the queen beckoned a chamberlain to step forward, whispered a few words, and saw him leave in a hurry like a palace maid, Fang sat up straight, and continued to ask Yun Fenghuang about his experience last night, "Shalu Pavilion is far away from Xiao Penglai, but it is relatively close to Xiao Fang Hu and Xiao Yingzhou, why did you go ashore in Xiao Penglai?" If you go to Xiaofanghu Xiaoyingzhou, you can still save some effort. ”

"The concubine originally wanted to go ashore near Yijia Palace." Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyebrows and said, "However, it was getting late, and the concubine mistook the grass and trees of Xiaopenglai for the forest in front of Yijia Palace." ”

Yijia Palace is a palace near Yanfu Palace, which is diagonally opposite to Taichu Palace across the Taiye Pool, and is the same as Yanlan Palace and Tongxia Palace, which belongs to the residence of high-ranking concubines in previous dynasties.

However, there are many vacancies in the high-ranking concubines of the national dynasty, and there is no main position at this time, and only a few palace concubines are divided into the hall.

Because of this, the tightness of the garrisons near it naturally cannot be compared with the palaces such as the Middle Palace, Yanlan Palace, and Tongxia Palace, which have a good background.

Yun Fenghuan wanted to sneak ashore, and it was reasonable to choose this place.

But Empress Ji didn't completely dispel her suspicions, "Really?" Then you should be the little Penglai who went to the night not long ago, why did the steward of the little Penglai say that he found that your palace maid went to tell him until dawn? ”

"The concubine's dress was soaked at the time, and I don't know who there are on the island." Yun Fenghuang showed a look of surprise, "Therefore, after going ashore, I didn't dare to show up immediately, and I managed to clean up, and then I went out to look for someone." And the palace maid called Liuhong saw that the concubine's dress was not dry at that time, and she was shivering from the cold, and Zhang Luohui, who was busy, asked the concubine to bathe and change clothes, and was busy around the concubine for a while, and then went to find the aunt in charge to tell her...... Think it's so delaying Chenguang? ”

Empress Ji took a sip of tea, and said lightly, "This is really enough toss." ”

"Queen Lao's mother is bothered, and the concubine deserves death." Yun Fenghuang hurriedly pleaded guilty.

The queen was about to speak, when the palace maid who had just been sent to invite Jiang Lan walked in, and said, "Niangniang, Gonggong Jiang is here." ”

"Didn't you say please?" Empress Ji raised her chin slightly, "Why are you still so lazy?" ”

The queen's words were very polite, but there was alienation between her demeanor. This is not surprising, Jiang Lan is Emperor Chunjia's henchman, who is a small servant, and the descendant brought from Fuyang County is not the same as the queen.

In addition, this person has witnessed the childhood sweetheart between Emperor Chunjia and Concubine Yue, although he has always respected Queen Ji very much, but he also takes care of Concubine Yue in private, so it is strange that Queen Ji has a good impression of him.

After a while, Jiang Lan came in, he was two years older than Emperor Chunjia, but half a head shorter than the emperor, his stout figure was a little powerful, the corners of his lips were a little stubborn, and he didn't look up, nor did he look at Yun Fenghuan, who was still kneeling, but respectfully asked what the queen had to summon him?

"Nothing else." Empress Ji looked very kind, and said slowly, "It's the peiyu that His Majesty asked Yun Chengbo to fish up yesterday, Yun Chengyu didn't find anything, the palace just asked the palace people to go to Shalu Pavilion to see, but only a little broken jade was fished up, I don't know if it's the piece that Your Majesty lost?" ”

As he spoke, the chamberlain who had been instructed by the queen came in from outside the door, holding an ebony gold-painted tray in his hand, with a piece of woven gold brocade on it, and four or five pieces of broken jade were messily placed, all stained with water droplets, as if they had just been washed, but there was still a smell of water.

The waiter smiled and handed the tray to Jiang Lan, "Father-in-law Jiang, please take a look." ”

Jiang Lan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't squint, but he subconsciously glanced at the cloud wind fence not far away, and said, "This...... Kind of? ”

"Then Grandpa Jiang should take a good look." Empress Shangshou Ji chuckled, "Yun Chengbou, who didn't return all night, has returned, and the palace will deal with it later...... This will be His Majesty's Peiyu is more important, after all, His Majesty has always been generous, if an ordinary object is lost, where is he willing to let Cheng Boudoir personally go into the water to fish? Since I agreed yesterday, it must be my beloved thing, so I have to find it back. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his eyebrows, "Why does Grandpa Jiang serve His Majesty all day long?" I can't tell if these broken jades are the peiyu that His Majesty fell into the Taiye pool yesterday? ”

“…… Slaves deserve to die. Jiang Lan's face changed slightly, and he quickly knelt down, "Your Majesty, there are several pieces of Peiyu with a similar color and texture, and these are all broken and incomplete, so the slave and maid can't recognize them for a while." ”

Empress Ji said "um", "Gonggong Jiang might as well take a look, if this is His Majesty's piece of jade, the palace will have to continue to bother Father-in-law to describe the appearance, and the jade maker will be almost relieved Your Majesty!" If this is not His Majesty's...... Of course, someone has to go down and look for it. Father-in-law, do you think that's the truth? ”

Jiang Lan saw sweat on his forehead, "What Niangniang said is true." ”

He stubbornly picked up a piece of broken jade and looked at it for a moment, and said, "If you go back to Niangniang, this is exactly the piece of jade pendant that Your Majesty dropped......"

Before he finished speaking, Yun Fenghuan next to him suddenly said, "Niangniang, Gonggong Jiang is talking nonsense, the concubine saw it clearly yesterday, Your Majesty didn't drop anything into the liquid pool at all!" ”

It's all at this time, if she can't see that Queen Ji wants to use the topic to play and get rid of Jiang Lan, the right-hand man of Emperor Chunjia, then what kind of palace is it?

This kind of opportunity for revenge sent to the door, Yun Fenghuang will never miss it, as the so-called taking advantage of his illness to kill him, he immediately fell into the well, "And the concubine body accidentally fell into the water when she danced for His Majesty, where is there anything to fish for Peiyu!" This is all Jiang Gonggong's ill-intentioned intentions, and he wants to kill his concubine...... The concubine body was in the water for a long time yesterday, but no one came to save her, I originally thought that the liquid pool was vast, and no one was looking for the concubine, but now it seems that it was deliberately done by Jiang Gonggong! ”

Jiang Lan's whole person was shocked suddenly, he didn't expect Yun Fenghuan to tear his face with him, the imperial chamberlain, so quickly, and couldn't help but retort angrily: "Please be cautious!" The slave has no grievances with you, why do they want to murder you?! ”

"The concubine also felt very puzzled." Yun Fenghuang lowered his eyelashes slightly, looking very sad, and said quietly, "Since the concubine entered the palace, she thinks she is cautious and cautious in her words and deeds......"

Her face was not red, her heart was not beating, and her face did not change color, "Serving the lord is even more conscientious and never dares to slack off!" Yesterday, I was called to go to Shalu Pavilion to accompany the driver, and I also went to the main hall to ask for peace before leaving...... But Concubine Yue doesn't seem to be treating the concubine very well? ”

This seems to be aggrieved, but in fact, it alludes to Jiang Lan's opening of his eyes for Concubine Yue, so of course there is a reason to murder Yun Fenghuang, who in the Six Palaces doesn't know that Concubine Yue is only afraid that Yun Fenghuang will cramp and peel the oil pot under the skin?

"Bastard thing!" Without waiting for Jiang Lan to defend, the queen had already turned her face like a book, suddenly slapped the phoenix seat, and shouted, "Who gave you the courage to dare to calculate the Empress Dowager's decree and the royal concubine?!" ”

"What kind of intention is this to make a raft with the things of the royal driver?!"

"Do you want to rebel?!"

“…… Mother's forgiveness! Jiang Lan lay on the ground, trembling like a sieve, begging for mercy one after another, "Slave maid...... The slave was wronged ......"

Empress Ji sneered, "Wronged? You kept saying that Your Majesty had fallen Peiyu, and Yun Chengyu volunteered to go down to retrieve it and disappeared, what was the result? This palace asked people to casually smash a piece of jade and bring it up, and you actually recognized it! It can be seen that it was nonsense before! In that case, what face do you have to shout injustice?! ”

She furrowed her brows, and her face was full of hatred, "At the beginning, the Empress Dowager insisted on letting you stay by Your Majesty's side because she felt that you were loyal and diligent and could serve Your Majesty well. The result? Are you worthy of the trust of the Queen Mother?! Worthy of His Majesty's love over the years? Worthy of the letter of the main palace?! ”

The queen questioned the momentum, but in the end, she didn't take Jiang Lan, who was almost paralyzed to the ground, but only asked him to pull him left and right and send him to the Chunyun Palace, "You are the person from the Empress Dowager to Your Majesty, this palace is not good to overstep the bounds, and send you to see the Empress Dowager of the Loving Mother, and ask her to show the old man!" ”

When Jiang Lan's crying and begging for mercy gradually faded away, Empress Ji picked up the tea that was already a little cold and touched her lips slightly, glanced at Yun Fenghuan, who was well-behaved throughout the whole process, and changed to an amiable smile, "Why are you still kneeling?" Hurry up. ”

Yun Fenghuang hurriedly said, "The concubine is ashamed to ...... to the mother"

"It's all the villain's fault." Empress Ji waved her hand, "I can't complain about you, but the queen of this palace didn't take good care of you, and it's only been a few days since she entered the palace?" There is no stable day. ”

"Niangniang......" Yun Fenghuang quickly figured out whether the queen's words were purely pretentious, or implied that he had tossed enough since entering the palace, and he should be stable for a few days, so he stopped talking again, and listened to the queen, "Forget it, the matter has come to this, don't say this." ”

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "Yesterday, the palace said that I would give you a promotion." I was going to announce it when I asked for peace this morning, but I didn't want you to be left in Xiao Penglai, so I came here now, so I don't have to wait until tomorrow! The main palace will let people do it later. ”

Yun Fenghuan hurriedly thanked him, and said loudly that the mother was generous and benevolent, because she was young and good, and she was articulate and clever, even if she knew that she was deliberately flattering, it was also comfortable to listen to.

"It's not a matter that the high position in the palace is empty all the time." Empress Ji looked at it, in a good mood, took a sip of the tea that the palace maid had just changed, and said softly, "Are you people hired into the palace by ceremony, and it is different from the flowers and birds brought back a few months later, you should serve Your Majesty more attentively, thinking that the palace is worried about it!" ”

The queen casually painted cakes, but she thought in her heart that this Yunfeng Huang dared to take the throne of her own family before she entered the palace, which shows that she is unruly in her bones. Although it seems respectful now and is not regulated, it is difficult to say in the future......

She lowered her eyes, and showed an encouraging smile to the young palace concubine who was still loyal to Her Highness, and secretly said that it was fast enough to be promoted two levels in just a few days after entering the palace, and then it should be pressed for a year and a half, smoothing out some edges and corners, knowing awe, and only then can it be used.

The idea was set, and he was about to send Yun Fenghuan to retreat, but someone from the palace came to report that it was the Queen Mother who came.
